Synopsis "Les Miserables 2 (in French)"

I Ce qu'on rencontre en venant de Nivelles. L'an dernier (1861), par une belle matinée de mai, un passant, celui qui raconte cette histoire, arrivait de Nivelles et se dirigeait vers La Hulpe. Il allait à pied. Il suivait, entre deux rangées d'arbres, une large chaussée pavée ondulant sur des collines qui viennent l'une après l'autre, soulèvent la route et la laissent retomber, et font là comme des vagues énormes. Il avait dépassé Lillois et Bois-Seigneur-Isaac. Il apercevait, à l'ouest, le clocher d'ardoise de Braine-l'Alleud qui a la forme d'un vase renversé. Il venait de laisser derrière lui un bois sur une hauteur, et, à l'angle d'un chemin de traverse, à côté d'une espèce de potence vermoulue portant l'inscription: Ancienne barrière n 4, un cabaret ayant sur sa façade cet écriteau: Au quatre vents. Échabeau, café de particulier.

Victor Marie Hugo (Besançon, France, 1802 - 1885) was a writer, poet, playwright, and French politician, a central figure of Romanticism and one of the most influential literary voices of the 19th century. His work includes emblematic novels such as Les Misérables (1862), which denounces social injustice in 19th century France, and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831), which powerfully portrays life in medieval Paris. In theater, he revolutionized the genre with plays like Hernani (1830) and Cromwell (1827), while his poetry, highlighted in collections such as Les Contemplations (1856) and The Legend of the Centuries (1859-1883), combines lyricism and social commitment

Exiled for about 20 years due to his opposition to the regime of Napoleon III, he produced many of his most significant works during this period, also expanding his political work as a deputy and senator after his return. He was recognized with membership in the French Academy and the Legion of Honor. His literary and political legacy remains a benchmark for social justice and artistic expression.
